98 Isuzu Rodeo 4Cyl Manual, 165k miles.

Touch the clutch pedal, it drops to the floor. Clutch fluid is full.

I pulled out the master cylinder, which was replaced 13 months ago, and it seems to be pumping fluid (press the cylinder, the fluid squirts out with force...) but I replaced it anyway. Still didn't work.

I replaced the slave cylinder, but the system still will not bleed at all. I open the valve on the slave, but nothing comes out when I press the pedal. Any suggestions?

There is air somewhere in the system. If you hook up the lines and full the resivour with fluid and it still does not pump, then a line is broken/kinked some where. Ensure sure you lines are all ok and keep pumping untill you pump all the air out. When youy think you all have the air out, close the bleeder screw and pump the pedal about 100 times, (it will feel like way more), and the pedel should be back to normal.
